Board ratifies NTA collective bargaining agreement after closed session; roll-call shows an attendance inconsistency
Summary
After a closed session on negotiations, the board voted to ratify the NTA Collective Bargaining Agreement; the minutes record a roll-call with five ayes and one abstention but also list one member as absent earlier in the minutes.
Following a closed session for bargaining strategy under Section 8(c) of the Open Meetings Act, the NICE Community School District Board voted to ratify the NTA Collective Bargaining Agreement on July 21, 2025.
"Motion by Jim Gray supported by John Grove to ratify the NTA Collective Bargaining Agreement," the minutes state. The roll-call recorded votes as follows: Kathleen Carlson — aye; Jim Gray — aye; John Grove — aye; Crystal LaFreniere — aye; Chad Korpi — aye; Derrick Magnuson — abstain. The minutes also show Kathleen Carlson listed as absent in the attendance record at the start of the minutes, an inconsistency noted below.
The board entered closed session at 5:46 p.m. under the cited Open Meetings Act provision and returned to open session at 5:52 p.m. The minutes do not include the terms of the collective bargaining agreement (salaries, duration, or other contract specifics); district records or the negotiated agreement will be needed to confirm the substantive terms and effective dates.
